Arbite... Biting into the coziest cafe in serangoon gardens.

Fickle weathered day. Rain shine rain and sun comes out again.

Saw how awesome the food looks on yina's instagram so decided to brunch out late;)

Do u know the meaning of :

Arbite

A pun on the German/Danish word for work (arbeit/arbejde).

(taken from website)

 

Cheese stuffed mushies as an additional side: must get for cheese lovers!!!

S had the poached eyes. Looks amazing to me though she felt it could be better.

 

And I had the Asian infused pork burgers, burger was a tad greasy but still good anyhow. I have to say the tangy salad dressing added ALoT of brownie points to the platter as an overall;) I'm a sucker for salads, ESP argulas:)

Superb environment, if u have a lazy afternoon to spend, this is the perfect place, and I really do mean THE perfect place.

 Timing is a little perculiar though. Refer below：

It's contradicting... I love my life and yet detest life at the same time.

Learning to love the small things in life makes u understand that good things come in small packages. They do not need to be wrapped under all those fanciful ribbons and glitter.

Joe's kitchen : SOM TUM FIT FOR THE KING

Woke up real late after a Mj session last night. Craving real badly for thai food , decided to give Joe's kitchen at Alexander a try.  Was looking forward to trying out the food as rumored that this cafe is open by the ex- head chef of Parkway Thai restaurant. 

Best part of the meal gotta be the Som Tum Mamuang(mango salad) a variation normally made with shredded green papaya but this simple fare of shredded green mango with peanuts was soooooooooooo good that anything after it became pale in comparison. 
Rate it 4.5/5 

Prawn cake / thai fish cake: standard Thai appetizer. Fact that it is fried. Couldn't very much go wrong . But credits given that they taste fresh .

3/5

Tomyum taley: looks really boring but once we started sipping it. The explosion of seafood and herbs are such heavenly combination. Rate it : 3.5/5

i was so occupied gorging myself half to death that i missed out photos of the 3 best dishes:0
 

Yum Woon Sen: was suppose to be served warm. The salad came cold and well prepared before hand. Tad disappointing. 1/5

Red curry chicken: overpowering coconut milk taste. Chicken did nt absorb much of the marination. 1/5

Pad Krapow moo(basil pork) : taste too much like a chinese dish went wrong. No basil taste. Very forgettable. 1/5

Nam pla(thai style): mediocre . Fish tasted too fishy. Stock used was ok only, Nothing to shout about .

2/5

Garlic fried chicken: crispy and fried to perfection. Batter is to die for but it could be a little salty for the faint-hearted. Rate: 3.5/5

Stir fry baby kailan: worst of all the dishes. Veg tasted real bland and barely cooked. Do not order this. Rate: 0/5

Total damage came to $140 for 4 pax. Pretty reasonable. But we probably ordered more than we could eat.

Would I return. Most probably not as there are better thai food found in Sg.

My foodie trail trekers & me:> Thanks for loving food with me:>

CAPELLA - For Shaye

"The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don't have."

S big day falls on a friday so we celebrated it a lil' earlier at CAPELLA, and for those who haven't heard, the villa def' worth a few spare moolahs. 

TIP #1: Do book way in advance and you could knock off 10% of the published rates. i paid about SGD700 before the 17.7% gvt tax + GST.

Plunge pool could be bigger though.

a

Bed is pretty awesome but its the touch screen bedside controls for the blinds that rawk socks.:>

Decent living area with 2 sun beds right outside the decks.

WOULD do anything and i mean ANY for a bathroom like that!

I loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity. lolz. what an excuse for my partake in narcissism:P

Tip #2 : Do bring your trusty Cammie.

And presenting to you my partner in crime :>
S: the supossedly shy one.

Shyness has a strange element of narcissism, a belief that how we look, how we perform, is truly important to other people. As much as S is rather shy, she loves to be on camera:> lolz

After all the hubble bubble, some great pals drop by for a drink. unfortunately Mari is not in Sin as she went to Seoul for her well-earned incentive trip.


TIP #3: Ask lotsa frens who would bring you lotsa booooze. 
TIP #4: do not indulge in political differences during session. lolz

 Aggie and elfie the LOVE LOVE birds:>

 S & MH who turns all fubbly once their big butt hits the sofa.

Life gets happier when you identify those happy momments.

MH and S wanted to ensure they checked out with a tan, and i actually made it a point to set the alarm at 8am to wake these piggies up.

 Checking out:< 

The HUMONGOUS feast we had at Coastes the night before didnt make us full very long. So we decided to head to down to old trusty Arirang for Korean BBQ.

The stir-fry squid is a MUST EAT, never tasted such tender squid, available for order with buffet.

Would have taken more photos if not for the fact that i am so ready to swallow a cow, and Aunty S is bugging me to eat. The Al-la-Carte lunch buffet is so cheap, 16 bucks( or less ) which includes free flow food(Cooked/Uncooked) and malt Tea/Plum Tea. Only setback is that they give you a timeframe of 2hrs to finish your meal. other than that, food is REALLYYYYY awesome.
